Eagle in Flight

The Bay Area Council has developed an endowment fund to support Camp Karankawa and the Sea Scout Base ~ Galveston properties. The endowment fund is permanent with the annual earnings being used for property improvements, capital needs and maintenance. Additionally, the earnings may be used to give assistance to Bay Area Council Scouts that need financial assistance.

Capital Campaign

The capital campaign raises significant dollars for a specific project. Often the money raised is to fund the acquisition, construction, or renovation of a building, but sometimes, capital campaigns are used to build an endowment for the future. In other cases, capital campaigns fund an extraordinary expenditure such as an expensive piece of equipment.

Capital campaigns have a beginning and an end, but often span several years, so Bay Area Council's projects vary based on the needs of the community. Capital campaigns require extraordinary preparation and skillful execution. Watch for updates and ways you can help have a positive impact your community.
